One of Aruṇadatta's quotations 281 establishes that the Bhelasaṃhitā was known in the twelfth century. Two or three citations from Bhela's work in a monograph on fevers by an unknown author, the Jvarasamuccaya, are said to agree with the text of the Tanjore MS, while the majority are not found in the latter. 282 The oldest MS of this Jvarasamuccaya dates from A.D. 924, 283 which establishes that the verses ascribed to Bhela are taken from a version of his work that antedates the tenth century.
